A little bit off topic but ..

@joepavitt It would be nice to hear about the journey "from prototype to widget".

- Does the journey via "prototype first" gain the dashboard evolution or it is like any other feature creation.
- How do you feel about the complexity of whole procedure?
- If anything, what can the prototype maker do better or more or less?
- Is there anything the prototype maker should take as "no no" or "must"?

Now as you have seen it can be done, you are candidate to be on position of turning prototypes to widgets 😉  
And we don't start to argue who has less time in hands to deal with it. Do we?

Hi @joepavit, just geeting into DB2 and loving it already 😉 thx a lot

In lot of your elements, like (UI-Button-Group) you are providing the option of having Labels & Icons ... would it be possible to show the lables as "Tool-Tip" like you can see in other apps

like the "Ask Copilot" below
